Rebate checks for all? President Donald Trump is mysteriously addressing the nation tonight. One bit of speculation: that he will use the opportunity to announce that he's sending all Americans generous rebate checks using the money the government has collected from charging tariffs.
"Next year is projected to be the largest tax refund season ever, and we're going to be giving back refunds out of the tariffs, because we've taken in literally trillions of dollars," Trump telegraphed in a cabinet meeting last week. "And we're going to be giving a nice dividend to the people, in addition to reducing debt." Government-issued checks would be in the $2,000 zone, per whisperings from administration officials.
